There was a girl who followed Paul and Silas around. She had an evil spirit. The evil spirit grieved them. Act 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain, by soothsaying: She repeatedly cried out day after day, saying, These, men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. She did this many days, Paul became greatly grieved and commanded the evil spirit to leave the woman. The evil spirit immediately obeyed and left the woman.
Now there were men that made money off the girl, because of
the evil spirit. They became angry at
Paul and Silas because they couldn’t make money off of her soothsaying any
longer. So they decided to cause problems
for Paul and Silas. They brought Paul
and Silas to the leaders of that city and accused them of causing problems
throughout the city.
The leaders took their clothes from them and commanded that
they beat them. They hit them with whips, over and over. They were thrown into prison and the jailor
was commanded to keep a guard over them.
Even though Paul and Silas were doing what God wanted them
to do (by giving the gospel.) They
suffered persecution. The reason they
ended up going through these terrible things was that someone was mad
because of the money. The men got mad
over the money and that was when they decided to get even.
Sometimes people can use other people for money, and they
become a slave to those people. They don’t
have any choice in the matter. That
woman was not paid anything even though they made money off of her. Maybe she was following Paul and Silas because
she wanted to be saved from the evil spirit and also the slavery those men put
her under.
God used Paul to deliver her, by one command. Paul had the power of the Holy Spirit upon
him. God showed himself great in the
life of the young girl. She was saved
from slavery. The devil was mad and
showed himself through the actions of the men who loved money enough to enslave
a young maiden.
Now Paul and Silas were sitting in a damp, dark prison. They had open wounds on their bodies. They
were hungry and thirsty. They didn’t
have any time to be afraid, they started praising and thanking the Lord. They sang songs psalms of praise. They were prepared in their hearts. They had God’s word in their hearts. They knew good songs to sing.
Young people you need to know the Bible, you need to know good songs of faith. God used those things in their lives when they were hurt when they were persecuted.
Act 16:24 - 25 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Act 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
They sang praise and prayed to the Lord with all their heart and the power of God shook the jail and the walls came down and the jail doors were opened. God has the power to save, God has the power to deliver. God broke the chains of bondage from them. God loves praise and it moves him if it is from a true heart of faith. They didn’t have instruments- they just sang beautiful words to a tune. It could have been out of tune for all we know. God loved it so much he broke down those walls to save his servants.
The jailor was afraid he would get in trouble if anyone escaped. Paul said, Don’t worry, we are all here. Guess what?
The jailor believed in God and got saved. God shows himself, powerful through our circumstances.
Acts 16:31 And Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house
The same is true for us today.
2Peter 3:9b .... but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God wants people to be saved. He wants you to be saved and live your life for him. God does not want anyone to go to hell, but that is what happens to those who die without him.
Father God, If there is anyone here that has not put their trust in you, that has not asked for you to save them. I pray that you will open their hearts to you today. Thank you so much that Jesus came to this earth to die for our sins. Thank you so much that you arose from the dead. Thank-you that you have the power to save anyone who wants to be saved. Help each one here understand your love for them and that you want them to be saved.
In Christ Jesus's name, I pray this Amen.

We said it like this - They took the key and locked them up.
We made chains from colored paper and put a memory verse on one of the chains.
The chains are to remind the kids of the power of God.
Use a premade paper chain to demonstrate how easy
the metal chains broke when God broke them.
